Kep, Rabbit Island, Vietnam

Rabbit Island


Rabbit Island is a small island off the coast of Kep. It has only a few bungalows lining it's beach and the most palm trees you will ever see! Its a great place to relax on the weekend, work on a tan and not spend a fortune. There are no locals hustling you to buy things on the beach and the bungalow is only $8 a night :) We went last last week and are going this coming weekend.

Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam


Ho Chi Minh is definitely underrated! Quite a few backpackers have told us that Saigon was just traffic, and a boring city - we found it to have a great environment with little backalleys, tall oak-like trees lining the streets, and to have a fun nightlife. Unfortunately we visited during Chinese New Year meaning many of the shops were closed - we did however get to visit the famous war museum. Definitely have to go back to do it properly but we had alot of fun!

Kep


It is all quite stressful coming up to the Kep Marathon next week - the art certificates need to be organized but I'm sure it will all work out in the end. The kids have been great - eager to draw and sometimes making 3 pieces in one lesson, lets hope everyone appreciates their hard work :)

Other Notes


Got stung by a wasp/demon the other day and successfully shed tears in class..I don't know what it was but  if a bee sting is like a tiny butter knife stabbing you, this was a ninja sword. Finger progressively swelled until it could not be bent and spread to the back of my hand - do not fear, it is all better now (well moving towards that direction). Fun times in the wild. Unfortunately I missed the Man vs. Wild ep where they teach you to deal with stings...although if it were Bear Grylls he would have probably eaten the monster way before it had time to attack.
